Privacy Policy

Look, we get it - privacy policies are usually a slog to read through. We're architects, not lawyers, so we've tried to keep this as clear and honest as possible.

At Ulthor Aven Quinth Architects, we take your privacy seriously. Whether you're reaching out about a potential project, subscribing to our newsletter, or just browsing our portfolio, we want you to know exactly what info we collect and what we do with it. No surprises, no fine print nonsense.

This policy applies to our website and any interactions you have with our studio. We're based in Toronto, Ontario, and we comply with Canadian privacy laws including PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act).

We're pretty selective about what information we gather. Here's the breakdown:

We're not in the business of selling data or spamming you with junk. Here's honestly what we use your information for:

We won't use your personal info for anything beyond what you'd reasonably expect from an architecture studio. No weird third-party marketing schemes or anything sketchy.

We keep your data pretty close to the chest. But there are a few situations where we might need to share it:

What we DON'T do: We don't sell your data. Period. We're not one of those companies that treats user information like a commodity.

We take reasonable precautions to keep your information secure. Our approach includes:

That said, no system is 100% bulletproof. We do our best, but we can't guarantee absolute security - honestly, no one can. If there's ever a breach that affects your data, we'll let you know ASAP.

Yeah, we use cookies - the digital kind, not the delicious kind. Here's what you should know:

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though it might affect how the site works. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies while keeping functional ones - that's a good middle ground.

Do Not Track: We respect "Do Not Track" browser signals. If you've got that enabled, we'll limit our tracking accordingly.

It's your data, and you've got rights. Here's what you can do:

Data Retention: We keep your information for as long as we need it to provide our services or as required by law. For active projects, that means the duration of the project plus 7 years (standard for architectural records in Canada). For newsletter subscribers, until you unsubscribe. For casual inquiries that don't go anywhere, typically 2 years.

Our website might link to other sites - maybe a manufacturer's page, a sustainability resource, or a collaborator's portfolio. Once you click through to those sites, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore. Those sites have their own policies, and we can't control what they do. So yeah, click with awareness.

We might update this privacy policy from time to time - usually when we add new features or if regulations change. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top. For major changes, we'll shoot you an email if we've got your address on file.

We recommend checking back occasionally, especially if you're a regular visitor or client. But we're not gonna make sneaky changes or anything like that.
